Love the way Rip and Rose run the fast break.

So anything that starts f and ends ck is filtered?
-
Always are and are a major reason why we typically outperform expectations. People love to overlook it. we have too many st players. Special teams depth, my man. What happens when we have gunners that are gassed?
-
Ok, I gotta know what this expletive is. Racial slur? It was the f word, "[expletive]" Multiple people have been calling him a [expletive]? Just seems weird. Or is tight end being filtered? EDIT: Nope, tight end isn't being filtered. Fullback? Wow, FB is being filtered? what's up with that?

You must have an extremely positive opinion of Derrick Rose. There's this other poster around here with almost your same exact handle that trashes Rose all the time. You should set him straight. I've seen imb, before, seems like a nice guy. Well played.

I never said that. yes, you never said we had a lottery ticket, you said we had a piece of paper with numbers on it that could or could not win us money based on a chance drawing. but i agree, you never used the term lottery ticket. McClellin is no less of a lottery ticket than every player picked after Blackmon. Why you assume he's a lottery ticket with a missing number is beyond me.

I never said that.

This nonsense about McClellin being a tweener or too small needs to stop. The NFL is littered with guys his size or smaller that play in or have played in the 4-3. John Abraham, Elvis Dumerville, Jason Babin, Cliff Avril, Trent Cole, Mark Anderson, and Robert Mathis just to name a few. The lack of competition is not such a terrible argument, but there's plenty of examples of players that have come from secondary programs as well. They succeeded without facing elite competition in college. Jason Babin went to Western Michigan and Mathis went to freaking Alabama A&M. This in no way means he's a lock to be as productive as any one of those players. It just doesn't mean he's doomed or even unlikely to pan out. I think it would be best if everyone just cooled down from the polarizing statements and take a wait and see approach.

Wow. You actually managed to make the draft sound pretty shitty to me.
-
I'm not trying to equate it to what the proper value is, I'm saying I don't like the idea of coming out of this draft minus Forte and the 19 and getting back the 4. I'm not disagreeing at all. I just don't think it's a trade that can leave either side happy, let alone both sides happy.
-
I would hesitate, big time. I would need to figure out a way to get their 2nd round pick in that situation. Forte, 19 and 50 for 4 and 35? I don't know. Forte and the 19 should be worth a lot. And they'd be coming out of this draft down a RB. yeah, good point on the 2nd round pick. Forte, 19th pick, and our 3rd round pick for No. 4, their 2nd Rnd pick and Hardesty? I think we may be over-valuing the Bears side of a potential trade up here, no? Think about it this way. If the Bears traded 19th pick plus X for the 4th pick, what would the relative value of X be if it was only draft picks? I think it would take the 1st round pick next year and maybe a 3rd or 4th round pick. Does anyone see Forte's trade value being equal to a 1st and a 4th? I certainly don't. Not with the way running backs are valued in the NFL these days. I don't think the Browns would be interested in Forte plus 19 for 4. They shouldn't at least.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-17-12
scarey replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
100% agree. And I'd have been perfectly content with it for the 3rd or 4th round, but with the 15th pick in the draft, a risk like that is idiotic especially considering the state that the Cubs farm system was in at the time. It that if Theo were around at time it wouldn't have happened. I think it's a bit unfair to criticize Wilken for Simpson based on the fact that Simpson has been sick/injured. If that was the major flag on Simpson, that he was injury prone, I could understand people criticizing now. However, he was a guy that was under the radar, had several plus pitches, and could pitch in the mid 90's. Plus, we've heard reports that another team or two (the Angels being one of them I believe?) were ready to jump on him if the Cubs had not picked him. Sure, he was a risk to not live up to what the Cubs profiled him as, but I don't think anyone considered for a second things would turn out the way they have. I get that it was criticized at the time and I can understand why. But to use his ineffectiveness due to sickness/injury to justify your opinion when the pick was made is, as I said, a bit unfair. -
Klaw: Matt Szczur has red hair. Everyone else: Actually, he has black hair. Klaw: No, it's red despite what you seem to think you know. Everyone else: But... I've seen it. It's black. Klaw: Red.

Are you really blaming Crawford for that loss?
-
Um... there's 2.8 seconds on the clock at the time he steps into the lane...

[expletive] you. You are a piece of [expletive]. Go enjoy your child molesting university. holy cow what a meltdown. At first I thought he was kidding or it was some sort of bum related joke. He was trolling Purdue fans after the toughest loss of the season and the end of Hummel's career. He's a classy guy. I think he was simply making a joke about the bum, I don't think it was anything directed at you, me, or any other Purdue fan directly.

[expletive] you. You are a piece of [expletive]. Go enjoy your child molesting university. holy cow what a meltdown. While I don't want to act irrationally in any way, I do wish we would stop talking about that dude. I feel like I'm actually associated with him in some way (which I don't want to be). It annoys me that he's the Purdue figure head around here even though he doesn't even post here anymore.

Exactly, that was dumb. As dumb as Purdue's final possessions. I can't believe Painter drew up the PG overdribbling for 95% of the shot clock for multiple possessions. I can't believe I actually rooted for Purdue in this one. But what the hell were those play calls? "Jackson, you dribble for 25 seconds, then get into the offense. If nothing develops go for the desperation shot!" It's not like they were up 5....they were up 1. ONE! On the final play where Hummel put up the desperation three, he actually ran a backdoor cut and Jackson didn't hit him. Would have been a very good chance Purdue grabs the lead there, at least a lot better than the off balance three point shot he ended up putting up. The play before I had no problem with as Purdue had the lead with under a minute to go and Jackson had the ball out at half court. Also, the play call was good with Hummel cutting through the lane and had an opportunity there too, but that was right as Jackson lost the ball. It sucks to put it on one player, and I loved Lewis Jackson's career, but those last two plays are almost 100% his fault.

You're operating under the assumption they don't have it already? As long as they all have it and will suffer with it for years to come, it's all the same to me.

Kansas all contracting syphilis would please me.

I love Matt Painter.
